CENTRAL INK. MORE THAN JUST INK. www.cicink.com Our Manufacturing & Formulation Process Redefines The Standard About PAGE Cooperative CELEBRATING 34 YEARS irty-three years ago, a misdirected ink invoice landed on the desk of Pete Eyerly, then publisher of the Bloomsburg, PA “Press-Enterprise.” What Pete noticed is that the much larger “Chain Newspaper” down the road a few miles was receiving far more favorable pricing than he. And thus, PAGE (Publishers Association To Gain Economy) Cooperative was born. Now, in 2018, PAGE boasts over 1,500 newspapers in its membership ranks. PAGE purchases newsprint in conjunction with Cox Newsprint Supply and together they are the largest buyer of newsprint in the nation. To join PAGE, members must receive approval from the PAGE Board of Directors. For additional information please contact the PAGE o ce at 800-468-9568.
